IF They Ask Me....

So WOTC is looking for players to tell them what they want in the new edition of Dungeons and Dragons. If they asked me I would gladly tell them what I want. I want D&D to be wild , mysterious and even a little bit creepy. I want the artwork to reflect that style. I would like the books to be like ancient tomes, not how to guides. I want them not care about upsetting people and not shy away from some material. I want the game to feel like an experience not an activity. I do not want some over hyped , one in every store, mass marketed, spoon fed, bubble wrapped, safe version of the game.

I signed up for the closed playtest. In fact, my non-discloser pact, signed in blood (not my blood) to solemnly swear not to tell everyone I am rolling dice. I'm curious to see what the 5th edition plans to be. I really hope its more on what you've described than the past edition.
